I noticed this a couple of weeks back and to my shame, didn’t know how long it had been there! I know it was slated for the festival earlier in 2007 but never materialised, I assumed because funding had evaporated. I think it’s great – must get down to Catford and see these blue tubey things…..

the modern day consensus of political ‘end of history’ liberals seems to be either ignorant of or pretend not to see the vast ruptures in society and the multiple & varied manifestations in every day life that stem from that, or to put these manifestations down to isolated non structural reasons, pretend that everything’s alright and over time reproduce that outlook within society

if refusing to take such a position gets me classed as angry then i’m happy to take that, being the opposite of angry (whatever that is) in this area won’t change anything

i am however a very nice person and not in the slightest an angry person on a personal level 🙂

(re the blue tubey things, i’m indifferent to them as art, just when you see money being spent lilke this you can’t help wondering how much more beneficial things it could be put to – a years CAB advisor’s salary for example, and don’t get me started on the half a million pounds spent putting a fake lake through the middle of ladywell park!)
